Hes probably the biggest MW right now, maybe in history. Also perhaps the best, at least one of the best. How would he do in the upper divisions? Where would he be ranked in them?
 
He'd get besmirched by USADA Shogun
 
He's not really that big just tall, he said himself recently his fight weight is 200 lbs so he only cuts like 15 lbs of water. He might do okay at LHW if he can put on a bit of muscle but probably not top 5, unless he juices up big time he gets killed at HW.
 
Get KTFO by Jimi Manuwa.

Agreed, but he is decently sized. Not a HW by any means
 
Belongs at MW.

LHW has good boxers and Luke is a kickboxer who isn't good from boxing range.

I don't believe this 200 lbs bullshit. Guys like King Mo, Phil Devis, Shogun look way smaller than Rockhold & He has thicker frame than all of them.

Great question because no doubt he would crack the top 5 with ease. Maybe even top 3.

MW has 1-2 good boxers at the top, if you count Bisping as a good boxer. The top guy is Mousasi.

LHW has Gus, DC, Rumble, Glover and Manuwa, some of them kickboxers with good boxing as well.
 
The guy that's chin got cracked by old pillow fists himself?

Bisping, Anderson, Whittaker, Moose, Weidman to name a few. Only good boxers in Lhw are Gus and Dc. Glover and Manuwa are limited. Manuwa has slick muay thai tho.

Anderson used to be, he's not anymore. Whitaker is unproven, but shows boxing ability. I wouldn't call Weidman a good boxer, but a power punching wrestler with a great left hook. Manuwa kills Bisping in boxing. Glover boxed up Rampage. Rumble kills everyone with his hands. Wild, but effective.

Rockhold would get outboxed and KO'd against the top LHW's more than against the top MW's.

Rumble isn't exactly a boxer, just a wild puncher/kickboxer with goat power.
Bisping is much more technical than both Glover and Manuwa. He just lacks power. If those three were the same size and power Bisping would beat them all.
Glover only has a left hook and gets tagged clean alot of times i.e. Ryan fucking Bader almost finished him. Only thing he does is pressure you and throw a 2 followed with a 3. That's literally the only combo he uses.
Guys in Lhw have more power, but those in Mw are much better and technical boxers.
